Food Joints

People who work in the food industry need to get attitude adjustments. They should be nice and not so uptight...
My dad, sister and I went to Olive Garden a few weeks ago. We ordered our drinks and began to look though the menu. I see a dish that looks quite scrumptious. But, it had shrimp in it. =p I'm not a big fan of seafood. So, I asked my dad if he thought I could order it without the shrimp and he said yeah sure order whatever you want. Cool. So the waitress chick comes back and I say "I'll have the Mazzaluna but can I have it without the shrimp?" The waitress looked at me like I was nuts or something. And then in a super snotty voice she said "So you want it without the shrimp?"

Didn't I just say that? I respond yes though to her already answered question. When she leaves I say to my dad did you see that? And his response was "Yeah, that will reflect in her tip." Haha.




This other time we went to Dunkin' Donuts. I was looking at the menu and decided what I wanted. I wanted a french vanilla iced coffee with cream and sugar. So my dad ordered what he wanted and said 'Ash your up.' So I walked up to the cashier and said I'll have a French Vanilla iced coffee. And she said with cream and sugar? And I answered yes. But she looks at me and says "NO? BOTH?" (Again with the already answered questions) I said yes. But the way she said it was really quite rude in my opinion.

So I guess the moral to my story is that waitresses are snooty. Waiters are usually better. :D
